I felt like something creamy and heavy today. But I didn't want the high fat content. So I searched around for a recipe for cream or cheese sauce that doesn't use any butter. The following is what I came up with, and it turned out pretty well!

Ingredients (estimated portions)

2 cups of finely grated low-fat cheese (I used cheddar)
4 tbs of whole grain flour
2 cups of soy milk (unsweetened. I'll never use soy milk with added sugar if I can help it)
1 tbs of oregano
Kale
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Sun-dried tomatoes

Notice that these portions are just approximate portions. That's what happens when you're playing around in the kitchen. So feel free to play around with your own portions according to taste. By the way, this might happen quite a lot, having to quote estimated portions :o).

Mix the cheese, flour and oregano together. Make sure the cheese is coated with the flour. Heat the milk, then mix in the cheese mixture slowly, constantly stirring it until it melts and thickens. You can add or reduce the milk to your preferred thickness.

Cut up the kale and steam them separately. Kale has a bitter taste to it and so I prefer to always steam them first.

Once the sauce is nice and thick, add in the broccoli and mushrooms. Cook it a little while with the sauce, then add in the kale and sun-dried tomatoes.

Serve over whole grain pasta.

Yummilicious, was creaaaamy and tasted heavy, but low in fat :o).
